Abstract
Introduction: Several technologies have been developed and optimized for the treatment of unaesthetic disorders. Among them is the oscillatory vibration therapy, a novel form of treatment based on the mechanical and physiological fundamentals of the vibration platform. Objective: The present study evaluated the efficacy of the oscillatory vibration therapy in the improvement of body contour remodeling and in the aspect of cellulite in women. Methods: This is a prospective longitudinal comparative study, in which the following evaluation tools are used: anthropometry, perimetry, adipometry, evaluation of skin viscoelasticity with Cutometer®, evaluation of the thickness of the hypodermis with diagnostic ultrasound and analysis of severity of cellulite (CSS). The evaluations occurred at the start and 1 week after the end of ten oscillatory vibration therapy. The results were analyzing using a paired student"™s t-test with interval confidence of 95% (P-Value <0.05). Results: Thirty women took part in the research, with age of 33 ± 9 years, weight of 62 ± 11 kg, height of 1.66 ± 0.06 m, BMI of 22 ± 2 kg/m2. The measurements of perimetry, adipometry, analysis of subcutaneous tissue thickness by means of diagnostic ultrasound and analysis of skin viscoelasticity did not present significant alterations. However, the CSS variable of the right gluteus (7.3 ± 1.8 to 5.8 ± 1.6 ≤ 0.0001), left gluteus (7.2 ± 1.9 to 5.8 ± 1.6= 0.0001), right thigh (6.9 ± 1.9 to 5.6 ± 1.4 = 0.0004), left thigh (6.9 ± 1.9 to 5.6 ± 1.3 = 0.0004) and Celluquol® (59 ± 16 to 49 ± 16 = 0.022) presented significant difference. Conclusion: The multi-directional oscillatory vibration therapy is an effective and efficient therapy for the treatment of cellulite; however, for the treatment of body remodeling, it must be further evaluated and studied.Keywords: vibration platform, vibration, cellulite, body contour, aesthetic medicine.
Highlights
Several technologies have been developed and optimized for the treatment of unaesthetic disorders
The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the multi-directional oscillatory vibration treatment developed to act in the fields of aesthetic medicine, aiming to improve body contour and the appearance of cellulite
The present study observes that the multi-directional oscillatory vibration obtained significant results in the improvement of the appearance of cellulite by the Cellulite Severity Scale (CSS) scale analysis in gluteus and posterior of thighs, corroborating the result presented by Celluqol®, which showed significant difference in the improvement of quality of life and lifestyle of the volunteers
Summary
Several technologies have been developed and optimized for the treatment of unaesthetic disorders. Objective: The present study evaluated the efficacy of the oscillatory vibration therapy in the improvement of body contour remodeling and in the aspect of cellulite in women. The range of products with approaches for the treatment of unaesthetic disorders is extremely wide: varying from non-invasive techniques, such as cosmetic products, diets with or without nutritional supplements, manual massages associated with electrotherapy resources to invasive forms, such as liposuction [1,2] The demand for this type of treatment and aesthetic surgery has been increasing exponentially; year after year young individuals, men and women, set out in search of their ideal body. Several technologies are being developed and optimized for the treatment of aesthetic disorders One of these technologies is the multi-directional oscillatory vibration therapy, based on the mechanical and physiological fundamentals of the vibration platform, or whole-body vibration (WBV). The vibration will run through the whole body, and stimulate physiological events, such as the activation of blood flow, muscle activation and rebalance; there is improvement in strength gains, resistance and power in healthy individuals and even in individuals with some types of musculoskeletal dysfunction [2,3,4]
